Идеи
SpaceX's IPO represents a referendum on Elon Musk and his ambitious pivot: using the funds to buy GPUs, build data centers in space via satellites, become an AI company selling software, and eventually reach Mars. The prospectus reads like a sci-fi script, and the market demonstrated massive confidence with roughly $350 billion in demand for a $75 billion offering, oversubscribing the deal nearly five times. The company's unconventional approach, strong Starlink internet business, and radical future vision justify the huge valuation and first-day 19% pop.
